I've never tasted one of those fruits before. Great advice on getting a blue sky - sometimes I struggle with that normally because it's impossible to get to the other side of the subject and I end up underexposing and taking a raw image aswell so I can alter it later in photoshop.

Wow, that is one healthy looking tree! Persimmon trees grow wild a lot around here. My mother-in-law makes a persimmon pudding that everyone goes nuts for. Everyone except me. I just can't make myself like that stuff!

I love that little tidbit about the sky color! A great tip! And I love these photos! I had never tried a persimmon until I picked some up last year to make baby food out of them! A loves them, and I thought they were yummy too! :)
